1

Antibiotic

used to treat and prevent infection (Gentamicin)

2

Isotonic irrigation solution

Prevents corneal dryness. (BSS)

3

Cycloplegic

Paralyzes the ciliary muscle and inhibits focusing. (Cylogyl or mydriacyl)

4

Anesthetic

prevents pain ( Tetracine or opthane)

5

Anesthetic- Retro bular

blocks the sensory and motor skills behind the eyeball.

6

miotic (topical)

constricts the pupils (Acetylcholine facilitates drainage of the aqueous humor) Decreases iop (Glaucoma)

7

Mydriatic ( topical)

Dilates the pupil by paralyzing the iris, allows pt to focus after dilation. ( neosynephrine)

8

enzyme

additive disperses anesthetic uniformly, prolongs duration of anesthesia block ( wydase )

9

Viscoelastic / vitreous substitute

prevents sclera from collapsing (sodium hyaluronate, Viscoat)

10

Anti-Inflammatory

prevents postoperative swelling, (Steroids/ non steroidal anti-inflammatory agent ( NSAID) Celestone, prednisolone)

11

Vasoconstrictor

hormone additive slows the absorption of anesthetic ( epinephrine)

12

hyperosmotic

Diuretics, used preoperatively to shrink vitreous body and reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP), aids with scleral closure during retinal detachment repair.

13

Ointment

used for external ocular infections (gentamycin, neomycin, tobramycin)

14

lubricants

protects the cornea when eye in unable to close, replaces natural lubrication and prevent corneal drying( larcilube or duratears)
